Week 7 Assessment/More on adult learning

I admire that my cohorts put forth the idea of assessment relating to rubrics. I am a bit puzzled that the correlation was not made earlier on in the course. I believe that I will make further comments on this subject later this week. I want to focus more upon the adult learning aspect. Finally we are getting to the true difference in the adult learner. The experience. I think experience makes education like an old black and white movie. Some of the black and white movies are excellent as they are. Others however, benefit from the "experience" of colorizing. Perhaps even a digital sound upgrade. It is these individual experiences that add flavor to the vanilla of old school educational style. I think most adult learners enjoy the opportunity to use/share their experiences the challenge for the instructor at times may be containing the experiences within the established course structure.

Good thoughts, but you seem reluctant to break things into paragraphs and explore each idea more fully.
